So you're actually being serious:banghead: So first off, crypto doesn't help "farmers couldn’t check crop prices, students couldn’t Google anything, and the largest hospital went offline forabout aweek." in the least. Second, you do even have the most rudimentary understanding how crypto works...

How the fuck would using a currency that literally requires the internet to function have helped anything when the internet is brought down by a DDOS attack....that had to be sarcasm about how crypto fanboys think it can solve everything?

For every one LTCM there are millions of failed "knack" traders. Again, you choose the odds. You specifically though are working hard to learn which I classify as an intellect bucket versus the "knack" bucket. Less about super high IQ then about willingness to learn and accept that smart people...

Again, it's not hard for us to use. I am an Apple hater but even I would never claim that Linux is even in the same league as OS X for ease of use. You also have to remember that it was damn hard for a lot of current Windows users to learn how to use Windows. Learning Windows 10 vs. a completely...

It's a pretty important life skill to understand what life looks like from another's position in life. It's not empathy, because you're actually displaying empathy here by thinking "how would I feel in this situation". The problem with empathy is it's centered on "I" instead of thinking "how...

One pretty universal truth demonstrated here nearly daily is that everyone lacking intellect will claim that it's all about some variation of "knack" and often go further to claim that intelligence is actually somehow bad, generally with some variation of a "I knew this one guy with a PhD who...

The problem with the linux evangelists isn't that you're wrong about security, because you're generally not. It's that you're preaching something that is beyond the capabilities of the guy who can't manage to make it past Windows 7 and clearly has limited technical expertise. You can preach how...

And now reading is beyond your ability as well. Like I said originally, it's hard to find someone as truly and utterly wrong with such predictability. I would absolutely love to be counterparty to all of your trades!

This is like a 3rd grader insisting I prove nothing can exceed the speed of light. Given your utter lack of education on the subject, and an utter lack of education in general (seriously, take a look at your last sentence, you're barely literate!), it's a difficult task. Made even more difficult...

Anti-intellectuals are so predictable.

Crazy why U.S. universities are in such demand from people all over the world and so much innovation has come out of those universities. Perhaps "education" is a very broad term and you're a moron if you conflate primary school performance in inner city Baltimore with MIT or Stanford? Of course...

You clearly haven't taken an econ class and if you did graduate from college you should ask them for your money back! If you want to "prove" to me that the U.S. is owed far more money than it owes I'm all ears. If you want to "prove" that interest rates are lowered to control inflation, again...

Well it's an opinion I share with 100% of the people who study this for a living and is easily demonstrated by 3rd grade level math, but hey, everyone's an expert in anything these days aren't they. When you get to college take an econ class, you'll find it very interesting I promise.

You're a rare person who is not only wrong but exactly 180 degrees wrong about everything you posted! First, the U.S. government owes over $20 trillion dollars and at most are owed a few hundred million. So if they want to control or not control inflation to influence their debt finances they'd...

To the OP, the carry you pay based on the interest rate differential in forex is determined by the no arbitrage rule. Basically, if on currency has a higher interest rate than another you could borrow in the low interest currency, convert, and lend in the higher interest rate currency while...

You need to chill out, good grief!

Want an odd thing for the guy with the syntax problems to say. How about you let us all know the top 10 PE firms in 1913 (that's when the Fed was established, something I have to assume you weren't aware of given your post). Or maybe just one that existed at all? How about the top 10 PE firms...

You can't really be that ignorant about something you insist on arguing about? NO, it didn't and doesn't!

Yeah, if you consider buy-side as bankers then they definitely do skew higher so we're pretty much in agreement. Don't imagine there are many failures out of Chicago!

With all due respect, they had a bunch of multi-year recessions a hundred years ago that we didn't have. Recessions, the things that actually impact real non-banker people by the millions with real personal financial pain. Back then it was the "you're not getting enough to eat today" kind of...
